ALDS - Asymmetrical Linear Drive System

Click for a larger image.ALDS = HIGH OUTPUT + low distortion


It’s the technology behind Thunder subwoofers. Take two cool ideas, put them together, and Presto — the whole world sounds better.

Cool Ideas Animation

Cool Idea # 1
Flat and Progressive Spider
Progressive means that the spider’s stiffness varies across its surface. It’s like a shock absorber—a loud musical passage is a rough, rutted road. Better suspension, better ride, better sound.

Cool Idea # 2
Extended Pole Piece
Teamed with the flat progressive spider, this makes for a very linear, or straight, motion of the speaker. (Linearity is also engineeringese for low distortion.) Note:This cool idea combo is what makes your tunes musical—even while your retinas are detaching from extreme SPL.


Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is just one of the many tools we use to ensure a superior product. The graph below shows the suspension on the speaker during its most extreme outward travel. We use this information to make sure that the mechanical stress is spread out evenly across the suspension, so our subwoofers will endure under the most demanding punishment.
